Tips for Dealing With Aggressive Eaters
When a dog is considered to be an aggressive eater, people can have a few different understandings. Dog food aggression refers to a dog’s behaving in a dominant way around his or her food.

Me and My Shadow
The following adoption tale came to us from Nomi Berger, a TAGS volunteer. “May I pat your dog?” It was a question I posed to many of the dog owners I met on my early morning, fall walks around the Rosedale reservoir.
